On the dim road, the war horses were restlessly commotion and running. Xu Dong's right hand was broken, and the palm holding the knife was broken into two parts after a moment of pain. Blood spurted out. He staggered and ran, and then was slashed in the thigh with a knife.
Rolled out and hit a tree.
The sword-wielding Shura was walking towards him.
This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a brutal killing. His whole brain could not react at all. He even had no idea how his companions died. However, it was just one or two breaths.
That person is like a Shura in hell, and the fire splashed in his steps is like the fire that burns up all the karma.
His master had never taught him such a thing. He didn't even know who the person in front of him was. There was no way he could offend such a person. The disappearance of the palm made him feel like an illusion. There was a big knife behind him and a knife on his chest.
The flying knife did not move at all, but he did not dare to touch it at all. The originally tall figure moved on the ground, kicking the soil under his feet, and the words in his mouth were a little unclear. Shura's figure holding the knife was very stable, and he had already walked close.
"Ying Ying Ying Ying, hero... made a mistake, made a mistake——"
He waved his intact left hand: "Me, me, me, we have no grievances or grudges! Hero, we made a mistake..."
This figure was tall, with a huge, destructive sense of oppression. Xu Dong could not recognize it. However, the other person stopped, slowly raised his left hand, pointed at his eyes with two fingers, and then turned around slowly
Pointed at Xu Dong.
Xu Dong was stunned. He could recognize that it was his usual threatening gesture, which meant "I remember you." When did he mess with this kind of people?
"Yingyingying...hero, I didn't...I was wrong...that's not me..."
Spit flew from his mouth, and tears fell out, which blurred his vision. However, the figure finally came closer, and the faint starlight filtered through the gaps between the trees, vaguely illuminating the face of a young man: "You
After you bullied that girl, I was the one who carried her out. You said you remembered us, and I thought it was very interesting."
The young man's eyes were cold: "You really deserve to be stabbed a few more times."
Xu Dong opened his mouth several times. At this moment, he really couldn't connect the inconspicuous young man among the scholars with this terrifying figure.
"I...I...I don't know...I...ah..."
The shadow of the knife rose.
"...I have a hostage!"
A certain thought came back to his mind, Xu Dong raised his hand and shouted loudly.
The young man was stunned for a while while holding the knife. After a long time, he tilted his head slightly: "...Huh?"
Xu Dong's voice was hoarse and he spoke quickly, explaining, stating to the other party what had happened before, and saying Lu Wenke's name. The expression on the young man's face changed uncertainly. Xu Dong cried and begged: "Hero... stay here
Leave...leave me a life, I can replace him, I can replace him..."
The young man raised his head and thought for a while.
…
"...What can I change?"
…
Killing intent bloomed in the forest, and then blood and darkness enveloped everything.
******************
Even in the most anxious night, the fair time still passes slowly.
The people in the Li family's Wubao spent a long night while planning the next response. The next morning, Yan Tiehe, Yan Yunzhi and others also woke up, and were hosted by Li Ruoyao in the main hall.
When we started to eat, outside the village, someone who had reported the news rushed in in panic.
Last night, the villagers in the Li Family's Wu Fort were well prepared, but the murderer who killed Shi Shuifang did not come to cause trouble. However, outside the Li Family's Wu Fort, the bad things did not stop.
Under the command of the manager of the village, people sounded the emergency gong, and then the villagers quickly gathered and lined up. After a while, the horse team, vehicles and a large number of villagers came out of the Li family gate in a mighty manner, and they passed below
market, and then turned to the direction of Tongshan County. Yan Tiehe, Yan Yunzhi and others also followed in the convoy. They stopped at a road passing through the woods not far away.
The dealers dispersed in groups and blocked the area, while Li Ruoyao and others walked inside.
It was a scene of brutal killing.
Five government officials died, one of whom was particularly tall and tall and looked quite brave. His neck was cut open, and his death state looked ferocious, with deep fear still in his eyes. Li Ruoyao introduced to Yan Tiehe:
"This is my niece-in-law Xu Dong, who is now the chief arrester of Tongshan County... and has been on the battlefield..."
The five government officials were all fully armed and wearing thick leather armor. Everyone looked at the scene. Yan Tiehe was horrified. Yan Yunzhi was also frightened and said: "This is different from the fight yesterday evening..."
"All five of them are wearing armor, and there are fishing nets and lime on the ground." Yan Tiehe said, "What the niece and son-in-law wanted was to swarm up and defeat the enemy instantly. However... the ability of the man yesterday was far beyond their imagination. This
In a face-to-face encounter, each of them used probably the strongest kung fu in their lives... The three government officials were all knocked to the ground with one strike. Their throats, lower abdomen, and faces were all shot. Even though they were wearing leather armor, the other party only made one move...
…This shows that when he fought with Shi Shuifang at the foot of the mountain yesterday...Shi Daxia did not use his full strength at all, and when he faced Wu Cheng and Wu Guanshi...he did not even involve anyone else..."
"Such martial arts cannot be practiced behind closed doors at home." Yan Tiehe paused, "I heard last night that this person is from the southwest, but the southwest... I don't want my children to go to the battlefield..."
Although Yan Tie and Yan Yunzhi were not present at Lu Wenke's interrogation last night, they still had a rough idea of the outline of the situation. What he said with some hesitation at this time was exactly what everyone was doubting and did not even dare to say more.
Li Ruoyao leaned on crutches and stayed on the spot for a moment. Then, he opened his bloodshot eyes and told Yan Tiehe more: "The tragedy that happened last night was not just the fighting here..."
"ah……"
"Last night, my niece-in-law and several government officials were killed in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, the murderer sneaked into Tongshan County..."
"Didn't Tongshan County already have a curfew..." Yan Yunzhi said.
"When the war begins in Jiangbei, most of the available troops have been deployed by General Liu. If we have to defend the entire city, how can there be so many people... After the murderer killed people here, he went all the way to Tongshan County and found him.
My niece's home. My niece... was killed in the early morning..."
At this point in his words, everyone was speechless. Only Monk Cixin put his hands together and said "Amitabha", and then chanted sutras, as if to save the dead.
The old man's eyes scanned all this.
"...Is there any royal law for this!?" His crutch trembled and he paused on the ground, "Using force to break the ban! Lawlessness! Just because you have some skills, you kill people indiscriminately! There is no place for such people in the world! I, Li Jiarong,
Don't tolerate this kind of person! Call together the villagers and brave men from nearby villages to let me out. I will find him out and give everyone justice!"
He roared loudly and his words were deafening. Everyone around him gathered around and agreed in unison. Yan Tiehe also came over and said a few words of comfort.
On a trip to Jiangning, I didn't expect to experience such a tragedy here, but even if I saw what happened, the scheduled itinerary would certainly not be disrupted. At the same time that Lijiazhuang began to mobilize the surrounding forces, Li Ruoyao also asked Yan Tie
He and others repeatedly complained about the poor reception this time. When the Yan family came here, the most important issue of jointly opening a trade route was naturally not discussed for a while, but the other goals were achieved. Today's meal
After lunch, they gathered together and prepared to say goodbye.
What is happening now is a complicated situation for the Li family. The most complicated point is that the other party is involved in the "Southwest" issue. Naturally, Li Ruoyao is not easy to persuade everyone in the Yan family to stay. At the moment, he just prepared gifts, sent them off, and gave them instructions.
After a few words about paying attention to the murderer, the Yan family naturally expressed that they would not slack off.
"The Li family has hidden many things from us."
There are some things that cannot be discussed in detail in the Li family's house. As the carriage and horse team left there, Yan Yunzhi talked about these thoughts with his second uncle.
"Of course it's impossible to be honest one by one." Yan Tiehe rode a horse and walked beside his niece's carriage. "For example, the reason why this happened was because the chief ghost hunter named Xu Dong was obsessed with it and wanted to ruin other people's entertainment.
The girl resisted, but his bestiality failed and he wanted to beat and kill people. Who knew that there would be a young doctor from the southwest in the other team..."
"Second uncle, how do you know..."
"When they were questioning the hostages last night, I hid on the roof and listened for a while."
The Yan family is superb in their assassination skills, and they have many skills in hiding and finding out information. When Yan Yunzhi heard about this, he smiled with a smile on his face: "Second uncle is really a veteran of the world."
"He is indeed old." Yan Tiehe said with emotion, "The five corpses in the forest this morning shocked me. How could they have such strong skills at such a young age?"
"Could it be that... there are more than one Southwester who came here this time? In my opinion, the young man who killed the steward named Wu yesterday still had some skills. Monk Cixin missed him several times.
He did not take the opportunity to fight back. However, when he arrived at Miao Dao Shi Shui Fang, his murderous intention suddenly appeared... This man seemed to be a member of the Southwest Ba Dao, but the two attacks at night, after all, no one saw it, so it was not necessarily him.
made."
"It is possible, but what is more likely is that the Shura land in the southwest has raised a group of monsters, who knows."
Yan Tiehe sighed, in fact, everyone in the world at this time knew that the Southwest was powerful. His power lay in relying on that corner of the country and a weak force to defeat the invincible Jurchen West Route Army head-on. But if
If you really want to think about it, how powerful is the Jurchen West Route Army? So, what are the details of how powerful the Southwest Army is? People who have never experienced it will always have various ideas, especially in
In the green forest, there are all kinds of strange sayings. It is difficult to determine whether they are true or false.
At this point, the uncle and nephew couldn't help but think of these weird sayings.
Yan Tiehe said: "What Li Ruoyao is really afraid of today is actually the relationship between this young man and the southwest. If a master of the green forest is good at running in the wild, it is not surprising that he can make dozens or hundreds of people afraid with his own strength, but even with martial arts skills
No matter how powerful a person is, he is only a person after all. Even if he reaches the realm of a grandmaster and is full of energy at the beginning, he can certainly be intimidating. But when one person is against many people, over time, just one flaw will kill the master.
The Li family wants to gain a foothold in Tongshan. If there is a strong man from the green forest who really wants to cause trouble, the Li family will always be able to kill the opponent even if they suffer heavy casualties, so they won't be really afraid."
"But what if this young man is really from the Southwest Chinese Army, or came out with some mission? Look at him pretending to be naive and hiding among a group of scholars. He seems to be powerless. He has been hiding for at least two months.
Why did he?" Yan Tiehe said, "Maybe he went to Jiangning to do something big, but this time, he couldn't help it when the niece, nephew, and son-in-law of the Li family did something immoral. The Li family went out of their way to kill him.
What if this person is killed next by a group of Chinese troops..."
He lowered his voice: "In the past two years, the Chinese army has been doing business with the world. In order to protect the trade routes, people have been sent out. There were originally these people in General Liu's territory. They fought in the southwest, fighting against the most elite Jurchens
The scouts fought hard and fought hard, and they were all ruthless and skilled in martial arts. If such a group of people came to the Li family, even if Li Yanfeng was personally in charge, they would all be killed here. What the Li family is most afraid of now is this.
.”
Yan Yunzhi also nodded: "But the Li family is now riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. Now the niece and son-in-law are killed on the road, and the niece is killed at home. Things are boiling down. If he doesn't even dare to arrest anyone, the Li family will be in disgrace around here."
"The person must be arrested."
"Can that boy escape?"
"I've said it before. One against many, with strong martial arts, can make people frightened at first, but no one can be full of energy at any time and at any time. In the fight in the forest last night, the opponent used a fishing net.
, Lime, and his moves are deadly. Even Xu Dong's body has only three or five sword marks. The time of this battle is definitely not as long as that of him killing Shi Shuifang, but in terms of energy and energy,
But it is definitely several times more powerful than killing Shi Shuifang. Now that the villagers of the Li family and the heroes from the surrounding villages have been released, he will not be able to get away in the end."
Yan Yunzhi was silent for a moment: "Second uncle, I just thought about it. If this young man really came out with other black flags from the Southwest, let's put it aside. But if he really left the Southwest alone, are there other possibilities?"
"... Just tell me."
"The Southwest is ruthless and the fighting on the battlefield is frightening. But in the past world, I have never heard of them taking children to the battlefield. This boy is fifteen or sixteen years old. The Jurchens were only thirteen or fourteen when they fought in the Southwest. How can they practice such skills?"
A large part of martial arts must be derived from family training."
Yan Tiehe nodded.
"He was born in the southwest, and because of the Miao Jiang incident, he killed the Miao Dao Shi Shuifang. From these things, it can be seen that at least the elders in his family must be related to the Miao Jiang Ba Dao, and may even be Ba Dao.
Because of this relationship, he has practiced martial arts well and may have helped on the battlefield. But if his parents were still there, they might not throw this young man out of the southwest and let him travel alone, right?
"
"What do you think is..."
"Both of his parents died, so he might have been a hero who died in the Southwest War." Yan Yunzhi said, "It was also because of this that he left the Chinese Army and went on his own to travel around the world. My niece thinks this possibility is high.
"
Yan Tiehe thought for a moment and looked at Yan Yunzhi, who also looked back seriously. After a moment, Yan Tiehe smiled: "You mean..."
"That's it if he has a mission..." Yan Yunzhi lowered his voice, "Actually, even if he has a mission, it is the Li family of Tongshan who has trouble with the Chinese army, not our Yan family. We can help him, too.
It's a good relationship. But if it is as my niece expected, he has no worries in the southwest and has come to travel around the world. Such a master can be used by us... Second uncle, you also said that he and the Li family are really going to fight.
If we get up, we can only take advantage from the front. If we can rescue people along the way, if the world is in chaos in the future, this will be a tiger general..."
As the carriage moved forward, Yan Yunzhi's tone was low, but his words still fell into the ears of Yan Tiehe who was riding beside him. He thought for a moment and then nodded: "Leave aside the tiger general, we Yan Tiehe
There is indeed no feud between my family and the Huaxia Army. No matter what the origin of the young man is, it is always good to have a fate... This matter is not simple. I will discuss it with your senior brothers. If the young man is really still here
He is lingering nearby, so it is easy for us to allocate manpower to leave a message for him."
He was accustomed to reading green forest novels, and he naturally had some experience in combining vertical and horizontal lines and various schemes. At this time, he felt that there was much that could be done about the matter. He immediately rode forward and summoned the other core figures in the team to talk.
After the horse galloped a few feet, he spoke to one of Yan Yunzhi's senior brothers. Suddenly something happened behind him.
It was a pedestrian figure walking on the road. In an instant, it rushed into the carriage where Yan Yunzhi was sitting. With just one kick, the coachman who was driving Yan Yunzhi and was quite skilled in martial arts was kicked out and fell down the official road.
The grassy slope on the side rolled down gurglingly.
At this moment, the figure tore open the curtain. Yan Yunzhi suddenly drew his sword and rushed out. With one thrust, the opponent waved away Yan Yunzhi's dagger with one hand. The other hand waved out and grabbed Yan Yunzhi.
He pushed her back into the car like a chicken, and the wooden boards of the big car made a loud bang——
The whole team was alarmed, and everyone tried to kill the general.
